Thanks for the tip mate but I'm more worried about CPU usage rater than bandwidth. I have fair 100 mbit on my server so bandwidth have never been an issue. Though CPU sometimes is...
Thanks anyway, Newbie -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Ottalini Sent: Sunday, March 12, 2006 03:12 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] SourceTV CPU usage Your server's uplink (outgoing) available bandwidth will define the total number of players and spectators you can support. My rule of thumb for per/player utilization (HL1 servers) is 35Kbits/sec per player, but this depends on the settings (maxrate 7500 maxupdaterate 15) Your safest bet is to assume the same bandwidth for a spectator as a typical player, so if you have 320K uplink in theory you can support 9 total (players + spectators). If you have 512K uplink then you can support 14 total (players + spectators). Don't forget that the HLTV server occupies one full player slot on the game server. In theory there is a little less utilization (depends on the HLTV settings) but in practice I found that one HLTV spectator has about the same uplink usage as one regular player. I also found that running an HLTV server on the same box as the game server created lag so I have a separate machine that only runs HLTV. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Newbie" To: <hlds@list.valvesoftware.com> Sent: Saturday, March 11, 2006 3:11 PM Subject: [hlds] SourceTV CPU usage > This is a multi-part message in MIME format. > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hello guys, > > I'm trying to figure out the amount of SourceTV spectators my server > could handle during tournament, so I wonder what's the load of > SourceTV spectators if compared with normal players (e.g. 32 STV > spectators will cause the same load as 16 players on server).
